Pho 21 Lettering Murals

My friend Tommy commissioned me to help modernize his family restaurant with two murals: one for a polaroid wall and another spanning a 15ft wall. For the large piece, Tommy wanted a strong illustrative look that highlighted ingredients; initially, we considered drawing an actual bowl of pho with lettered ingredients, but after a round of thumbnails, I recommended an illustrative type-heavy lettering piece.

I sketched and finished the digital piece in Photoshop using my Wacom tablet. With the help of Tommy, I traced the digital piece onto the wall with chalk and finished most of the mural in 2 days using white and gold acrylic paints.

Happy Birthday Tommy

An illustration featuring my friend Tommy as a video game character. Design includes elements from Final Fantasy XV, Devil May Cry, Kamen Rider Faiz and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. This was made into an acrylic standee, gift bag, and a mug.

Everything, Everything Lettering

I created lettering and doodles for the Pinterest marketing campaign for the movie Everything, Everything in conjunction with McBeard. As lead designer on this campaign, I chose a more unrefined, raw, and handwritten look, complete with crooked lines and shaky details to match the campaign art, to cater to the teen audience this movie was geared towards. I created these in Photoshop with my Wacom tablet.

Overwatch

Inspired by various tarot designs, I wanted to create my own tarot series for Overwatch featuring bad puns. More coming soon.

Rogue One

2016

Lettering piece created for a Snapchat filter for Fullscreen's company holiday party. I exported it and created a standalone graphic out of it.

Warcraft Movie

A few of the marketing pieces created with McBeard Media for the Warcraft movie.

Heavy photo compositing and layered effects were used to manipulate key art with type.

For the "Beware the Fel" piece, I brushed away multiple layers of the type to reveal different layers of the text, creating a corrosive effect.

Social Media

Various social media graphics made in conjunction with McBeard.

Art is the Only Way

A lettering piece for designcuts.com. I wanted a fantastical element to represent art. In this case, I drew a dragon made of ink. I included some other literal elements to really emphasize the feelings of escaping through art.

Make Art That Fills Your Heart

A lettering piece for Design Cuts featuring an inspirational quote. I drew an hourglass that was inspired by my low poly Zelda piece and drew the lettering on top of it after. Initially, I wanted more video game-inspired elements and began with pixel lettering, but scrapped it for a more elegant style. Instead of making a literal art piece, I went with a heart hourglass being filled with paint. I added some art tools in the paint above to make it more literal.

The Perfect Drinks

I decided to create a series of chalkboard lettering art featuring cocktail drinks from one of my favorite TV shows, Danger 5. Most of this is hand-drawn lettering, but there is some typography and illustration as well.

I love the rawness of authentic chalkboard lettering, so I aimed for a gritty, unrefined look for these pieces. All of these were drawn in Photoshop CS6 with my Wacom Intuos5.

Disclaimer: Some of these pieces may include Nazi imagery. I am only incorporating elements from Danger 5, an Australian show about a spy team trying to thwart Hitler's plans for world domination. Read more about this wonderful, bizarre show here.

Make Your Own Magic
